core: Kill usbi_backend.clock_gettime() function

Out of all the backends supported by libusb, only two need to provide an
implementation of the clock_gettime() function. Windows completely lacks
such a function and versions of Mac OS prior to 10.12 do not provide it.
In all other cases the backend simply ends up calling the C library's
clock_gettime() function.

Let's optimize for the common case and check for the availability of
clock_gettime() during configure. If available, we will just call it
directly from any part of the library that needs it. If not available,
the backend is required to provide an implementation of
usbi_clock_gettime() that matches the current requirements.

Closes #685

Build Status Build status Coverity Scan Build Status

libusb is a library for USB device access from Linux, macOS, Windows, OpenBSD/NetBSD and Haiku userspace. It is written in C (Haiku backend in C++) and licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1 or, at your option, any later version (see COPYING).

libusb is abstracted internally in such a way that it can hopefully be ported to other operating systems. Please see the PORTING file for more information.
